There's already tens of millions of person-years of safety data accumulated, at least for the mRNA vaccines. How much safety data do you need? As we can see from the reactions to the blood-clotting issues in the adenovirus vaccines, there are at least a dozen national public health departments around the world that are being hyper-vigillant about safety issues.
Yet, none of the people have had the vaccine in their system for over a year, or had booster shots which will be necessary as the protection the vaccine offers expires.
50 million people with the shot in their system for 3 months tells us very little about the impact to those people a year later, not to mention multiple years later.
What are the studies that have shown the impact of cumulative shots, which will be required as the effectiveness of the first rounds of shots wear out?
The safety issues they're being "hyper-vigilant" about are ones that show up immediately or short term, not long term effects.
You do recall opioids being approved by the FDA and widely recommended and used. Yet 20 years later, those producing and marketing the FDA are being held accountable for their negligence then.
Yes, i'm aware of the potential long term effects of Covid. I can mitigate those risks by not engaging in activities or behaviors that increase my exposure. Getting the vaccine reduces the risks of getting Covid in the short term. You resume susceptibility to Covid 6-12 months later, and again subject to the same risks (or additional risks that have not yet been measured) with each subsequent round of boosters.
I've known many who experienced side effects from the shots (usually on the 2nd shot), getting sick (how sick varied widely) for 1-2 days. Is being sick from vaccination 2-4 days a year the solution? Certainly, getting sick 2-4 days a year is better than being on a respirator, but i know dozens of people who've gotten sick 1-2 days from the shot (symptoms ranging from fever, headaches, vomiting, intense body aches), while i know slightly more than a handful of people that have had serious cases of Covid.
I'm not suggesting that people choosing to take the vaccine are foolish. They have made a risk determination and chosen the path that they believe provides them the least risk. I do, however, think that those, such as yourself, who continue to be dismissive of risks and concerns relating to getting the vaccine do us all a disservice (just as i think those who push nonsense about "masks don't work" do us all a disservice).
